65 This has been observed when emacs is linked with GNU ld instead of
66 Solaris ld. To check which ld is used by gcc add "-V" to
67 TEMACS_LDFLAGS in src/Makefile. Alternatively the executable size may
68 be used as an indication of which linker is used. The size is
69 approximately 15M when linked with solaris ld compared to 9M when
70 linked with GNU ld.

72 The fix is to reconfigure/install gcc, making sure that the SUN linker
73 is used.
